Group opposing Ohio push to make changing constitution harder launches new TV ad
An Ohio group working to defeat an August ballot measure that could make it harder for abortion-rights supporters to amend the state constitution later this year is upping its ad presence in the state.
The “One Person One Vote” organization urging people to vote "no" in the August election began running a new ad on Wednesday that focuses heavily on comments from Republican Secretary of State Frank LaRose earlier this year, in which he acknowledged that the purpose of the summertime ballot measure was to make it harder for a November measure enshrining abortion rights in the state to pass.
The Aug. 8 ballot measure — known as Issue 1 — will see voters decide whether to raise the threshold of support required for future state constitutional amendments to 60%. Currently, just a majority is needed.
The 30-second spot — which will run in Ohio on television and digitally — starts with a narrator saying, “They got caught red-handed, admitting Issue 1 is one hundred percent about abortion.”
